Seymac Distribution – Frequently Asked Questions

We cover the whole of Cornwall and we have split it in to 6 areas, so you can do 1 or all 6 if required. See our distribution map for a visual reference: Distribution & Marketing. The areas are Penwith, Kerrier, Carrick, Restormel, North Cornwall and Caradon.

Each of our areas has a specific leaflet requirement, we have gained this knowledge from many years of data gathering, dependant on what areas you want and the time scale involved, we’ll work out what it will take to meet the demand, this will have a similar impact on our distribution quote as we do not charge by the 1,000.

All of our high footfall outlets are visited on a weekly basis with many of them being visited at least twice per week in the main peak seasons. We also run a fortnightly, four and six weekly schedule and our representatives work all year round.

We start distribution on or around the 1st March each year, more often than not we’ll also try and get what literature we have out in time for February half term, the main season finishes at the end of October, we then go into our winter distribution period from the 1st November to the end of February the following year.

Yes and No, this can sometimes be ok if you are running an event and you need literature out for the build up to the event, so the distribution window is small and your literature would be removed once the event is over, if you are an attraction or activity running all season, we would suggest distribution to follow the main season time frame of March to October, or a consecutive time period if the main period from March to October is too long, you cannot pick and choose different months with gaps in between, the logistics alone would be cost prohibitive.

The most common format is the DL leaflet or 3rd A4 folded, we can take up to A5 and all of our display stands have space but a limited number of slots in each display.

While our main focus is distribution and marketing, we work closely with a number of trusted local designers and printers. If you need help with your artwork or printing, we’re happy to point you in the right direction and provide their details upon request.
